If you blinked, you might’ve missed it — but in July 2013, The Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco and Man of Steel star Henry Cavill gave us one of Hollywood’s most fleeting romances. And yes, the paparazzi memba it.
At the time, Cavill had just soared to mega-stardom as Superman, and dating him meant being thrust into the kind of spotlight most people only see in comic books. Cuoco — already famous for playing Penny — later admitted she wasn’t ready for the chaos that came with dating someone on the level of a caped superhero. The relentless flashbulbs, constant headlines, and public scrutiny left her scrambling.
Their fling lasted roughly ten days, but every moment felt bigger thanks to the tabloid frenzy. Fans and photographers alike couldn’t stop speculating: Would these two actually last? The answer, as it turned out, was a resounding no.
Still, even though it was over almost as quickly as it began, the relationship became a memorable Hollywood footnote — a crossover that paired TV’s bubbly girl-next-door with the world’s new Man of Steel.
After the split, Cavill zoomed ahead with roles like Superman and later Geralt of Rivia. Cuoco, meanwhile, carved out a new path for herself with The Flight Attendant and production work, proving that even brief romances can leave a lasting mark — especially in Tinseltown.
Boy, do we memba them.
